Description:
FACULTY POSITION: SIGN LANGUAGE LINGUISTICS
Position: The Department of Linguistics at the University of
California, San Diego (http://ling.ucsd.edu/) invites applications for
a professorial position in sign language linguistics beginning in
2004-2005. Applications from candidates at all levels will be
considered; at a minimum, candidates should have a Ph.D. at the time
of appointment.
As the department emphasizes both theoretical and experimental
linguistic research, the research program of the ideal candidate would
combine linguistic research at any level of analysis (phonetics,
phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, discourse, or
information structure) with experimental work in first or second
language acquisition, psycholinguistics, neurolinguistics, or
laboratory phonology. A primary or secondary specialization in first
or second language acquisition is particularly desirable for this
position, but not required. Candidates should be able to demonstrate
the relevance of their research interests to issues in theoretical
linguistics, as well as research productivity, undergraduate and
graduate teaching ability, extramural funding potential, and ability
to interact with the sign language research community at UCSD and
affiliated institutes.
Application details: A letter of application, a curriculum vitae, two
(2) representative publications, and an official summary of teaching
evaluations, if available, should be sent to the following address:

Please indicate in the letter whether or not you will be available for
an interview at the 2004 LSA Meeting in Boston, MA, January 8-11,
2004.
All candidates should arrange for three (3) referees to send letters
of reference under separate cover to the same address, and should
include the names and addresses of the referees (including e-mail
addresses and fax numbers) with the application. For fullest
consideration, all application materials, including letters, should be
